recommendations.

Differential, Transfer & Transaxle Case Oil

Follow these general recommendations for the driveline

gear cases.

Maintenance Schedule

• Check housings for damage and possible oil leakage after

each use.

• Check oil level every 6 months or every 100 hours,

whichever comes first.

• Change oil yearly or every 400 hours, whichever comes

first.

OIL LEVEL CHECK

The transfer case and rear transaxle oil levels are checked

at the fill plug with a clean rod. The rod should be long

enough so that it will not fall into the fill opening, clean and

not easily broken.

1. Park vehicle on a level surface, set parking brake, turn

off ignition switch and remove key.

2. Clean area around check and fill plug.

3. Remove fill plug and measure oil level in case. Levels

should be:

• Rear Tranasxle: 4 1/2” (11.4 cm) from the top of

the fill hole to the oil level.

• Transfer Case (Four-Wheel Drive Only): 2” (5.1

cm) from the top of the fill hole to the oil level.

• Front Differential (Four-Wheel Drive Only): 1/4”

(.64 cm) from bottom of fill opening.

4. Add correct lubricant if needed (do not overfill.)

5. Replace fill cap and tighten securely.

CHANGING OIL

Warm oil drains faster and more completely than cold oil.

Drain used oil while it is still warm as follows:

1. Park vehicle on a level surface, set parking brake, turn

off ignition switch and remove switch key.

2. Place a suitable container below housing to catch used

oil. Remove fill cap and drain plug.

3. Allow used oil to drain completely and then reinstall

drain plug and tighten securely.

4. Properly dispose of used oil. Do not throw used oil in

the trash, pour it on the ground, or down a drain.

5. Fill gear cases. See SPECIFICATIONS on page 35.

6. Replace fill cap and tighten securely.
